IN AN AGE OF MIRACULOUS
MEDICINES, NO PERSON SHOULD
HAVE TO HEAR THOSE WORDS.
AIDS CAN BE PREVENTED,
ANTI-RETRO-VIRAL DRUGS CAN
EXTEND LIFE FOR MANY YEARS, AND
THE COST OF THOSE RUGS HAS
DROPPED FROM $12,000 A YEAR TO
UNDER $300 A YEAR.
WHICH PLACES A TREMENDOUS
POSSIBILITY WITHIN OUR GRASP.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, SELDOM
HAS HISTORY OFFERED A GREATER
OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO MUCH FOR
SO MANY.
WE HAVE CONFRONTED AND WILL
CONTINUE TO CONFRONT HIV-AIDS
IN OUR OWN COUNTRY AND MEET A
SEE VER AND URGENT CRISIS
ABROAD, TONIGHT I PROPOSE AN
EMERGENCY PLAN FOR AIDS RELIEF,
A WORK OF MERCY BEYOND ALL
CURRENT INTERNATIONAL EFFORTS
TO HELP THE PEOPLE OF AFRICA.
THIS COMPREFF -- COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN WILL PREVENT SEVEN MILLION
NEW AIDS INFECTIONS.
TREAT AT LEAST TWO MILLION
PEOPLE WITH LIFE-EXTENDING
DRUGS, AND PROVIDE HUMANE CARE
FOR MILLIONS OF PEOPLE
SUFFERING FROM AIDS AND FOR
CHILDREN ORR FANNED -- ORPHANED
BY AIDS.
I ASK THE CONGRESS TO COMMIT
$15 BILLION OVER THE NEXT FIVE
YEARS, INCLUDING NEARLY $10
BILLION IN NEW MONEY, TO TURN
THE TIDE AGAINST AIDS IN THE
MOST AFFLICTED NATIONS OF
AFRICA AND THE CARIBBEAN.
THIS NATION CAN LEAD THE WORLD
IN SPARING INNOCENT PEOPLE FROM
A PLAGUE OF NATURE, AND THIS
NATION IS LEADING THE WORLD IN
CONFRONTING AND DEFEATING THE
MANMADE EVIL OF INTERNATIONAL
TERRORISM.

THERE ARE DAYS WHEN OUR FELLOW
CITIZENS WILL NOT HEAR NEWS
ABOUT THE WAR ON TERROR.
THERE IS NEVER A DAY WHEN I DO
NOT LEARN OF ANOTHER THREAT, OR
RECEIVE REPORTS OF OPERATIONS
IN PROGRESS, OR GIVE AN ORDER
IN THIS GLOBAL WAR AGAINST A
SCATTERED NETWORK OF KILLERS.
THE WAR GOES ON, AND WE ARE
WINNING.
